The reality of this procedure is pdocs do not always agree on each others diagnoses and often are wrong. Also I think so many people want to fit in some where so bad they accept what ever they are told because at least they finally fit some where and know what's wrong with them! Not all of course but certainly most.
So it doesn't matter what you are diagnosed, bipolar, pdsd, bpd, you go home start reading about it and begin identifying and mirroring it. But how can that be?
Well first of all many of the traits and symptoms overlap or exist in other disorder. Many of us can relate to other symptoms and traits as well. The moment we are told that's us, we begin to mirror that even more. I can personally relate to and identify with a number of disorders in various categories. One could easily adapt even further to what they are told they are.

I can see totally how this could happen, as you say, we all want to belong and it would help us slot in somewhere. I for one am not one of those ppl thankfully. When I was told I'm BPD I didn't go home and make it fit...it came along and made me fit me instead! I felt as though I was at home with it and it resonated so deeply, pdoc could not have been wrong. I am a seriously sick little girl trapped in a woman's body.
